NPR, PBS and Stephen Colbert: major losses for the Left this week (Dem community)

VIDEO EXCERPT: The corporate CEOs of NPR and PBS spent the last several days making a pitch to the media that they saw no bias in NPR and PBS, and that any discussion thereof was unfounded. They made fools of themselves, and their budgets were cut last night. Hooray for them.

My loser of the week is similar to that. Which is the left's presumption that they can asymmetrically dominate the media. Steven Colbert turned his show into a nightly anti-Trump program.

NPR and PBS, as Karoline Leavitt well documented, they're just attack machines for the Democrats. They have lost their ability to have these asymmetrical advantages.

A huge loss for them, and a misfortune for the Democratic Party, which relied on these advantages. [...] I've argued for the longest time that Democrats have had a hold on all these mega institutions.

[...] But then it's the alternative economy, where Republicans have learned: Okay, if you don't want to get de-banked by Bank of America, build your own bank. If you want a currency, go to crypto.

This is what happened with the rise of talk radio, and then the podcast.

But the left, their domination of academia, and Hollywood, and corporate America is getting chipped away because they jump the shark on so many things.

That's why I make them the loser for this week. It's a paradigm shift. And they don't recognize what a crutch that's been for them. They really don't.

Yeah...keep wet dreaming but I don't see a Trumper Hollywood and entertainment industry emerging any time soon. The new MAGA Kennedy Center for the Arts can't even book enough shows for its fall season:

We have 3 and a half years to get thru this populist shitstorm. Everybody knows this. Then things will return to normal again just as history shows us. All the tariffs will be gone, businesses will thrive again, all the fascist DEI bans will be lifted, and worldwide trade will resume as usual. The LGBT suicide hotlines will come back. Transgender kids will get the treatment they need. The states will make abortion and reproductive healthcare legal again. And University teachers will talk about racism again. Hell there may even be a new path to citizenship for immigrants. That's what happens when you try to legislate a culture war you lost years ago with temporary executive orders and budgetary extortion.

Congressional Democrat approval hits all-time low, 19% approve 72% disapprove. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/po...235387561/

Even among registered Democrats, approval for the minority party [Democrats] is underwater: “39 percent approve of the way the Democrats in Congress are handling their job, while 52 percent disapprove and nine percent did not offer an opinion,” the poll found. This is compared to 77 percent of registered Republicans who approve of the way their party is performing in Congress.


Dems aren't even winning with their own voters.

Democrats suffer MASSIVE BLOW in latest poll numbers
https://youtu.be/y7Tz3x_eFRo

VIDEO EXCERPT: . . . I do think Democrats need to be very careful right now. They know that. I'm not giving them any advice that isn't completely obvious. But they need to be very careful right now because their base is furious.

Their base is way angrier than Democrats here in Washington realize, and poll numbers like this show why.

This is what happened during the Tea Party era. Basically, a fury at Republicans in Congress had been percolating among Republicans who had just come out of the Bush era, seen John McCain defeated, and this ascendant new progressive president elected in Barack Obama...

[...] There's a reason the Tea Party and the Occupy Wall Street movement burst forward at the same time, and it was because of the Great Recession. I mean, it doesn't get much more obvious than that. And Republican voters -- this is such a flashback -- were deeply, deeply angry. [...] They were deeply angry about the bailouts, and they were furious at Republicans who had green lit the bailouts.

To them, it was almost the straw that broke the camel's back. And so the Tea Party movement springs up, sort of interpreted as a pro-austerity movement, because people were really upset about the financial mismanagement of the country, about the national debt -- about these totally unsustainable entitlement programs.

[...] What they wanted was to feel heard by people in Washington. They wanted Congress to come up with systems that were going to be sustainable...

Typical Trumper negativity. Even when everything is going their way, they still have to whine about and bash Democrats. They're totally defined by their bitch'n about something. Even their Dear Leader can't satisfy them. Can't wait till they all die off from cirrhosis.

That's not Republicans bashing Democrats. It's their own voters bashing them.
Please, learn to read.

The only whining I hear is from a conservative podcaster..

You don't know if it's balanced unless it's transparent. So is wanting what you claim to want whining? @_@
